Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 919 - 921: Mrs. Cai in a Huff

"By the way, you’re a teacher in Beijing, can you take your nephew to Beijing?" Tu Chunni couldn’t get money from Cai Meina, so she was wondering if she could take her grandson to Beijing.

The old lady was quite out of touch with the outside world, but she always thought her daughter’s three kids were great in every way.

They seemed better than the kids here. If her grandson could follow Cai Meina to Beijing, as an aunt, she couldn’t just ignore him.

Go to Beijing? "What would they do in Beijing, become workers? The requirements for workers in Beijing aren’t low right now."

"Do they even have a middle school diploma?"

Cai Meina was sick of it all, always living a life of eating, drinking, and wandering. If they went to Beijing, they’d rely on her to support them, right?

"Aren’t you a teacher? Can’t you help by making introductions?" Tu Chunni got angry, "How can you be so cruel? He’s your nephew."

"The nephew is also his dad’s responsibility. I’ve done enough for the Cai family; I’m just a poor teacher, how can I manage?"

"If you really want me to help, I can only recommend them to carry bricks at a construction site." Cai Meina bluntly suggested a job that was unacceptable to Tu Chunni.

Carry bricks? Gong Ruini, overhearing, couldn’t help but snicker. Let them earn a living by setting up a stall, and they already found it arduous—how would they handle carrying bricks?

Carry bricks? Tu Chunni looked at Cai Meina in disbelief, "How can you be so heartless as an aunt?"

"Didn’t my uncle also look on heartlessly while their niece was ill as we went to the Northeast?" Cai Meina’s attitude infuriated Tu Chunni.

"Back then, how young was Ni Zi? You all didn’t care either, so why should I manage those two boys now?"

"Don’t think I don’t know. Once I take over, who knows, their marriage might also become my responsibility. I have my own children to care for; where would I find the time to manage them?"

"Mom, you’re already this old, if you want to support them, I have no objections, but don’t drag me into it."

"I said it back then, since our family moved to the Northeast, I wouldn’t concern myself with Cai Guoqing’s family’s affairs, whether they live well or not—it has nothing to do with me."

"You..." Tu Chunni didn’t expect Cai Meina to see through their intentions, which embarrassed her quite a bit.

But she didn’t expect Cai Meina to truly be so cruel. She wanted to mention sibling bonds, but looking at Cai Meina’s mocking eyes, she couldn’t say a word.

"After all, Cai Guoqing is your brother, he supports you."

"A woman without her family home would be bullied by men."

"Don’t come crying later asking Guoqing to back you up."

Hahaha, what a huge joke, "Me needing Cai Guoqing to support me?"

"Think of how much money that would cost. Mom, if I give him money, it becomes a bottomless pit that’s only going to make things worse between me and my husband."

Besides, he’s not my only brother; Cai Ming is far stronger than Cai Guoqing.

Once again stumped, today Tu Chunni was being driven half-mad by Cai Ming, "By the way, what’s going on with Cai Ming?"

No hope for this unfilial daughter, might as well ask about the other son.

"Didn’t I already tell you he married into his wife’s family?" Cai Meina coldly replied.

Ah, married into the wife’s family? Tu Chunni panicked, "How could he do that, it’s unacceptable."

"If he didn’t, would he have money to marry? Might as well just marry into their family."

"How is his wife’s family background?" Tu Chunni hesitated; compared to Cai Meina, she really felt guilty toward this son.

"Whether their conditions are good or bad, it’s their business. Cai Ming agreed that if he ever provided financial support to you all, he would leave the marriage with nothing, not even having a share in the children’s money," Cai Meina said coolly.

Ah, no way, Tu Chunni was stunned by these cascading revelations—not only did her son marry into his wife’s family but also agreed to such terms, "How could he agree to that?"

"No money to get married, no family backing, the other side treats him well, of course, he agreed."

"Now that they’ve had their child, he comes home to a warm family every day—something my little brother never experienced before. Is being so emotional now really effective?"

Actually, the real reason for her being so upset and emotional was probably because she couldn’t rely on her little brother for spending money anymore, right?

"But I’m his mother; how could he not discuss this with me?" Seeing her daughter so successful, having her son attend Shangjing University too, it’s impossible not to succeed.

"If he discussed it with you, would you have had the money for him to marry?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"You also shouldn’t expect him to care for Guoqing’s two children. Remember how Guoqing’s family treated your little brother, his wife, and child when they lived at home." Cai Meina didn’t believe the Cai Guoqing couple’s actions were unknown to them.

"And why did your little brother go to the Northeast as an educated youth, Mom, you don’t know?"

Before coming, Tu Chunni brainwashed Cai Guoqing in all sorts of ways, thinking they were all her children, what’s wrong with them doing some work? But after Cai Meina asked all these questions, she was dumbfounded.

"Mom, think back to those agreements you and Dad made with Uncle; my little brother preserved them." Sometimes it’s necessary to remind them about those things they signed back in the day.

"All these years, little brother has honored the terms he agreed to back then. You all should be able to as well." Cai Meina was truly exhausted beyond measure.

She had initially planned to visit her parents after taking care of Zhang Lan, bringing them some stuff. Even though she hadn’t settled these matters in Beijing, now they were home, she couldn’t ignore it.

But now that’s out of the question; no matter what she gives them, they will never think it’s enough, ideally wanting her to agree to manage Cai Guoqing’s family’s future life.

Agreements, agreements, Tu Chunni had long forgotten about these things entirely. Now that Cai Meina mentioned them again, she was dumbfounded—could they really still be preserved?

"Mom, it’s getting late. Didn’t you say you needed to go back and cook for Guoqing’s family? I won’t keep you." Cai Meina didn’t want to continue the conversation with Tu Chunni; otherwise, witnessing her pitiful appearance, she might not be able to resist, better to just send her away.

Ah, just like that, she had to leave? Tu Chunni got up in a daze, "There’s already no money to buy rice at home."

No money to buy rice? Oh my God, Gong Ruini was stunned. Gong Qiang’s family might have been struggling, but never to such an extent. She never expected the Cai family to be in such dire straits.

No money for rice? Cai Meina wouldn’t believe it, "If there’s no money, wouldn’t they stop lazing at home and go find work?"

"Don’t worry, Mom. Once Guoqing’s family goes hungry a few times, they’ll go out and do something. If they really can’t buy rice, that’s fine too. Only when people have no way out do they truly strive hard."

Finally, Tu Chunni gave Cai Meina a fierce glare, "Let’s see what good outcome you’ll have."

"How can you be so ruthless?" She said, then stormed out angrily.

Ah, no way, Gong Ruini was stunned, it’s such a waste for this old lady not to be in theater—how quickly her mood, complexion, and expressions changed.
